Howdy wizards! I've been looking for a THREE way tele wiring schematic with both pickups in series in the middle position. It seems EVERY tele schematic with series wiring is a 4-way solution with neck, both parallell, both series, bride. Has anyone got a THREE way schematic with both pickups...

Thank you GuitarDoc I will keep it in mind… I'm still in painting mode here. Soon though there will be time to put it all together!

As stated above, Warmoth builds takes a while. But it's all for good quality's sake. The body and neck arrived today finally – I ordered them in the beginning of March. Now it's time for paint and soldering shenanigans! I bought a Alnico II Pro™ Tele set as user "Mincer" recommended above. It's...

I just wanted to say thank you! I've gotten some really good feedback on my PU questions regarding my telecaster. There was a long Little 59 vs Jerry Donahue model debate and a lot of you guys chipped in an it ment a lot to me. So thank you. I settled with the Donahue bridge and a Vintage for...

HELP WANTED I'm building a new parts caster. Tele thinline Warmoth roasted adler body Warmoth birdseye maple neck with rosewood board I'm after an open and woody tone, but without the over-twangy part of the tele sound. Vintage warm sort of thing. Mostly for playing with little or no...

Hey guys! I need a bit of advice. I'm an ex metal guitar player who have been playing the blues for the last 20 years or so. Back in the day though I was a full on shred guy (Vai/Satriani-style leads) but played death metal (Florida-style). I'm in my 40:ies now and looking back feeling death...

I just swapped my Duncan Jerry Donahue lead tele pickup for a Little 59. Not sure yet if it's better or just different. I love the Donahue in many ways but have been lacking a little meat in the tone. The 59 got more meat, but I lost the brittleness of the Donahue. I guess you're never fully...

I'm playing a SD Jerry Donahue in my tele. I really like it, but since our saxophone player quit the band and we decided not to replace him I realised that I'm all of a sudden in a different sonical landscape. Now we're basically a blues trio with a singer. The tele sounds too thin now. I have...

Found this PU in an old (2007) Hagstrom Viking. Anybody got a clue what it is?

Re: New Forum Member and SD JD Tele pickups review Woah! That was a long read! I too play the JD and the STR-1 in my telecaster. I too love them! I solved the problem with the muted highs and wool in teh STR-1 by soldering it straight to the output. That way you get full on no-load treble on...

Guitar tone nerd faced with fact – what's in it really? We recorded an live album and with my band. Listening to it made me realize two things: 1. I'm not too happy about the overall guitar tone – but that's not the point here. 2. I play both a SD equipped Les Paul and a SD equipped...

I saw Tedeschi Trucks Band a few days ago and was blown away by Dereks tone. I've heard the albums and they're great but live was just on another level. Do anybody know if he uses stock Gibson pickups or any aftermarket stuff? I have never seen any Derek Trucks signature pickup. Just love that...

Hi all! I have a tele want it wired in series instead of parallell. I've googled a bit but I only find 4-way versions, but I don't want that. I just want to change my 3-way to be series in the middle position. I use the chroma75 Antimud wiring (pic below). How's the easiest way to get it in...

I can't reconcile with the logo printed on Duncans nowadays. Am definitely thinking of just whiping the silly thing off. But am worried it will decrease in value if I try to resell it. Is there any thoughts on this matter in this pickup nerdy forum? Isn't there enough logos on crap out there –...

I absolutley love the Jerry Donahue model bridge tele pickup. But I don't play anything like Jerry Donahue and had never heard of him before I saw his name on a Duncan pickup. I play the blues and borderline blues rock at times. For this the Donahue model is just super! It's like a vintage tele...
